  • The Simplest Way to Tow a 2017 Chevy Equinox?
  • There are a number of parts that you are going to need in order to flat-tow your 2017 Chevy Equinox, starting with a base plate. The Blue Ox, # BX1689, is a confirmed fit for your vehicle, and offers simple installation, using only bolts. For a tow bar, I recommend the Blue Ox Alpha, # BX7380, which slide into your RV's trailer hitch receiver so you don't have to use a ball mount, and the swivel function makes it easy to to connect your tow bar and vehicle. I have included links to video...

  • Low Profile Cargo Box That Fit 2020 Chevy Equinox With Factory Roof Rack
  • There is an option for a low-profile cargo box that fits your 2020 Chevy Equinox with the factory roof rack, but I checked with Thule and the Motion XT # TH629706 does not fit, and in fact there isn't a fit from Thule for one of their cargo boxes on your Equinox. We do have a fantastic low-profile cargo box that I can confirm is a fit for your Equinox, which is the Yakima GrandTour Lo Rooftop Cargo Box # Y46FR. The GrandTour Lo is 91" long x 37" wide x 10" tall so it is even lower profile...

  • Cargo Box That Fits 2020 Chevy Equinox With Factory Roof Rack
  • I checked with Thule, and while their Pulse is not a fit for the factory roof rack on your 2020 Chevy Equinox, there is a very similar cargo box that is a fit, which is from Yakima, the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Roof Cargo Box # Y95AV. This cargo box has 16 cubic feet of cargo space so you can carry a plethora of gear, is simple to use because it opens from either side and installs easily by clamping onto your crossbars. It also locks shut in order to keep your gear safe and sound. For space,...

  • Parts Needed to Get a Curt Echo Working on a 2017 Cadillac XT5
  • You can definitely use the Curt Echo # C51180 on your 2017 Cadillac XT5. That being said, you will need to add a couple things to get it up and running. First, you will need to have a 4 Flat on the vehicle to start with. If you do not already have one, the Tekonsha # 118720 will be my suggestion. This is a plug and play option that takes absolutely no time to install. The next add on will piggyback off this part, so it is needed. Next, you will need our 7-Way Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake...

  • Recommended Baseplate For A 2023 Chevy Equinox Premier
  • For A 2023 Chevy Equinox Premier you'll need the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523193-5. If you have lower active air shutters they will need to be trimmed/removed in order for any baseplates to fit. If you haven't picked out the rest of your flat towing components then I have the following recommendations: Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e74ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables bracketed to the arms to prevent them from dragging on the ground. It will require...

  • Preventing Rattle From Ball Mount in Hitch of 2018 Chevy Equinox
  • You'd need to use a universal anti-rattle device like the part # e99007 which would stop that movement of the ball mount or if this was a ball mount with a hollow shank that you wanted to also have a theft deterrent on you could use the anti-rattle hitch lock # 63232.

  • Can Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate for 2019 Chevy Equinox be Used With Blue Ox Tow Bar
  • You will need an adapter, but so long as you have a Blue Ox motorhome-mounted tow bar like the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar # BX7380 or Blue Ox Ascent Tow Bar # BX4370, you can use them with the Roadmaster EZ5 base plates that fit your 2019 Chevy Equinox, which are the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523193-5. To do so, all you'll need is the Roadmaster Adapter Kit for Blue Ox Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars # RO64FR. Along with the base plates, tow bar, and adapter, you will need...

  • Compatibility of Curt C28FR Base Plate With Blue Ox Tow Bar on 2019 Chevy Equinox
  • It sure will. The Curt # C28FR Base Plate Kit is compatible with Blue Ox or Curt base plates (also with Roadmaster and Demco if the correct adapter is used). You'll also need safety cables like # RM-643, a wiring solution like # RM26FR unless its a Premier model, in which case you'd need # RM-15267 and a supplemetal braking system like the Roadmaster # RM-8700 Invisibrake and a # RM-751489 stop light switch. If the installed height of the base plate is more than 3 inches higher or lower...

  • Will Curt Echo Wireless C51180 Work On A 2018 Chevy Equinox W/ Factory 7-way Connector?
  • The Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 you were looking at will work perfectly in your 2018 Chevrolet Equinox with the factory 7-way connector and is a great option that does not require drilling any holes to mount the controller or any wiring as it plugs in directly into your 7-way connector. One of the great features of the # C51180 is it can be removed and used in any vehicle with a functioning 7-way connector. I included a video of the # C51180 for you to take a look at.

  • Is the Curt Echo Compatible with a 2018 Chevy Equinox with Factory Tow Package
  • Your 2018 Chevy Equinox with the factory 7 way will have the 12v power connected already, so you're ready to use the Curt Echo # C51180 right out of the box. You'll just need to pair it with your Bluetooth enabled smart phone running Android 4.4 or newer, or iOS 8.0 or newer. I've linked a short review video of the Echo, but you've got everything you need if you already have the 7 way plug on the vehicle.

  • Will the RockyMounts Backstage fit Electric Bikes with Fenders?
  • Generally, we don't recommend using wheel-mount carriers like the RockyMounts Backstage, part # RKY10002 with bikes that have fenders, as it can bend and damage the fender. Instead, I'd recommend a frame mount like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE For Electric Bikes, part # HLY84FR. This rack has a capacity of 80 pounds per bike, which will give you an extra 20 pounds per bike on the rack. It also has a tilting system and has a hinged arm that lets you swing the rack 67 inches from the...

  • Will 2022 Chevy Equinox Fit with Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack
  • When we installed the 2" etrailer Trailer Hitch Receive # e59ZR on a 2018 Chevy Equinox we found from the center of the hitch pin hole to the rearmost part of the bumper to be 5". If the hitch on your 2022 model has a similar measurement then the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU84FR will fit perfect since it requires at least 6-1/2" of clearance to fold it up. I've attached the installation video of the etrailer hitch on a 2018 Equinox as well as a review vide of the Transfer V2 for you...

  • Does Roadmaster Flat Towing RM-155 Bulb and Socket Kit Fit a 2020 Chevy Equinox
  • It will depend on the trim level of your 2020 Equinox. If it's an L, LS or LT model, you will be able to use the # RM-155 Roadmaster bulb and socket kit. If it's a Premier model, you'll need to use a different option. The Premier model uses variable voltage taillights that would require a smart diode. If the taillights on the Premier model are incandescent, use # RM26FR. If they're LED, use # RM38FR. I've linked to some installation videos that you might find helpful.

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors for 2020 Chevy Equinox
